The Generation Game by Gwen Woodruffe

Today there are three generations of our family at the Bowes Museum. This is Emily, she is 7 years old and lives in the south. I’m Gwen, Emily’s mum, O grew up in the north. My mum Mary, Emily’s nain, grew up in Wales. Here are a few of our favourite things. Family and friends -,Emily’s daddy Philip and dog Monty and myself live in Hampshire. Nain and Grumps, and Charlotte, Amy and Robyn are all from Hutton Fields. And theres also Nancy and Earnest on here who is Grumps’ parents. We all love sport, tennis and hockey, snooker and darts. Toys, I can remember the dolls house and teddy bears, lego and rocking horses and leisure time, music and farming. Television, mary used to watch Andy Pandy and Muffin the mule, Gwen watched Bagpuss and Paddington Bear. Emily watches all off these but also likes the Tweenies and Charlie and Lola. Life, even though we’ve grown up in different places and at different times our lives are not that different. At the end of the day we all love to be together and share experiences and thats what makes life fun. The end.

We had great fun creating this - and enjoyed learning together how to use the story board. Would also love to find out about movie maker!Posted on 25/02/2010 at 02:24:42
